Because Jesus HAS WON the victory (past tense), the word "after" has theological ramifications.
Vss 5: "battle-shield" --> "breastplate" (correct) as in "breastplate of righteousness"
"be thou my dignity, thou my delight" --> "thou my whole armor, thou my true might" (correct) To my knowledge, Jesus/God doesn't care about our "dignity", only our repentance and faith and trust in Him. Again, a theological change.
Andy, I like the song and your rendition -- it rocks. I also have some comments:
1. Your voice needs to be louder. You need a better mic, a little compression, and some reverb.
2. It recording sounds like a one-man project done on a computer. I would prefer a more "live" sound -- you and a guitar/kbd and then overdub the other tracks. The tempo is too exact -- obviously not live.
3. I prefer to have the official CCLI lyrics, not the Robin Mark variation.
